Hi,
I use postfix as an smtp client to deliver email to our enterprise
smtp server. Since the smtp server needs authentication, I used cyrus
sasl with postfix and things worked fine. After a portupgrade, postfix
has stopped working, and gives some wierd authentication error.
Googling did not help much, and hence I am posting here. Relevant
details follow:

Error in the maillog shows:

I don't quiet understand the first message of "no such file or directory".
I used exactly the same configuration earlier, and postfix was happily
working for the last year or so. Any pointers to fix this issue will
be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
